Shaping the Santri’s Inclusive Attitudes through Learning in Pesantren: A Case Study of Pesantren Al-Anwar Sarang Rembang Indonesia

Abstract

Pesantren (Islamic boarding school), a place for religious learning, has been tarnished because it is considered as a breeding ground for extremism and radicalism. This paper aims to examine the view that pesantren is not an institution for radicalism to be seedbed. However, it is an institution that is open, inclusive, and can accommodate modernity. In line with that idea, three questions could be formulated. First, how is the learning curriculum in pesantren? Second, how is the implementation of learning in pesantren? Third, how is the portrayal of inclusive graduates as the learning impact in pesantren? This study uses qualitative research with curriculum/materials and learning methods in pesantren as the object of the study. The data were collected from sources such as kyai (preacher), ustadz, santri (Islamic boarding school students), graduates, administrators of pesantren who were selected by purposive sampling, with documentation study methods, observations, and interviews. The analysis uses a descriptive method to portray the entire curriculum and learning conditions conducted in pesantren. Then they were analyzed interpretively to see the relationship between the formation of santri's inclusive attitudes. This study shows that the curriculum and learning methods have a significant role in shaping the students' attitudes. A sequential-comprehensive curriculum structure and discursive learning methods will form an inclusive (open and tolerant) student personality. Therefore, other pesantren(s) need to transform towards a discursive curriculum and learning to lead to inclusive students.

The Benefits of Whatsapp as a Medium in Depositing Memorization of the Qur’an

“…This opinion is in accordance with previous researchers Hendio Anjasmara, S, Fauzia A Hakam and M. Muthoifin said that the Quranic hafidz is a program and also a subject given to students who should be deep in religious science as a sign of love for the Quran (Rohman & Muhtamiroh, 2022). With the memorization of tahfidz, graduates from the cottage are expected to be a distinctive differentiator from other madrasa graduates, as it is well known that the Indonesian people have participated in many various tahfidz programs around them from children, adolescents, parents and also the elderly competing with each other, which is now known that institutions for the tahfidzul Quran program are very much established both private and public, as in the tahfidz program in Darul Yamani.…”

Islamic Boarding Schools and Universities' Curriculum Management Based on Spiritual and Intellectual Mentality

“…Other efforts made in the formation of spiritual intelligence are carrying out various dhikr, wirid, and prayers by paying attention to manners, and Tarbiyah ruhiyah naturally, through carrying out various obligations by presenting the heart; multiply doing various sunnah worship; always carrying out amar ma'ruf nahi munkar; trying to reach the position of ihsan; carry out various activities in the way of Allah; holding various evening meetings for worship; and visiting graves (Rohman, 2022).…”

Challenges of Educational Management in the Islamic Higher Education Sector Based on Pesantren

“…Pesantren took a stance of rejecting the religious beliefs and assumptions of reformists. But make several accommodations and "adjustments" that can support the continuity of the pesantren and benefit students, such as a tiering system, a more explicit curriculum, and a classical system (Rohman & Muhtamiroh, 2022). Even though pesantren has carried out the tiering and classical techniques, the pesantren (non-classical) education system is still maintained.…”
